2005 Ford Mustang Gt

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 MUSTANG GT. I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY GAUGE CLUSTER ON MY CAR. SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 40 MPH, FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, TEMP GAUGE WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO, OIL GAUGE ISN'T READING CORRECTLY LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I DON'T NEED FUEL. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WERE NO HELP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST IM GOING. I DON'T KNOW THE TEMP OF MY MOTOR. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT OVER A HUNDRED OTHER 2005 AND 2006 MUSTANG OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND FORD ISN'T HELPING ANYONE. FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND HELP US MUSTANG OWNERS WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AND STILL IS A ON GOING SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND THE FAMILY. WHEN DRIVING, NORMALLY AT A LOW SPEED THE ENGINE WILL "DIE", OF COURSE I LOSE ALL POWER TO THE STEERING, BRAKING, ETC. I MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO START IT, IT WILL START BUT, WHEN I TRY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, IT DIES AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, WHEN I PULL UP TO A RED LIGHT, OR BEHIND A VEHICLE. I HAVE NO FORWARNING OF THE EVENT ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. TWO WEEKS AGO IT OCCURRED WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND IT TOOK HER ABOUT 40 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR RUNNING. AND YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AFTER LEAVING MY GARAGE AND DROVE LESS THAN 1/2 MILE, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING, AND I TRAVELED ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT STOPPED AT LEAST 5 TIMES BEFORE I COULD PARK. WE WENT SHOPPING AND CAME BACK OUT AND IT STARTED AND GAVE ME NO PROBLEM GETTING HOME. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP, R&R FUEL TANK, REPLACED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS I SHOULD TREAT THE FUEL AT LEASE EVERY TWO TANK FILL UPS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS GOING TO OCCUR AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY MY FAMILY AND/OR OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THERE IS NO RECALLS AGAINST THE VIN NUMBER. I CAN NOT BELIEVE I AM THE ONLY MUSTANG OWNER THAT IS HAVING THE PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE THE CAR HAS HAD AROUND 45000 MILES ON IT I BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. SPEEDOMETER, WIPERS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BRAKE LIGHTS, HEAD LIGHTS, AND BLINKERS ALL STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. I AM FORCED TO SHUT THE IGNITION OFF WHILE DRIVING AND RECYCLE THE KEY JUST TO GET THE BLINKER WORK AND THEN SHUT IT OFF AGAIN TO TURN IT OFF! DOORS WILL NO LONGER LOCK OR UNLOCK AND CANNOT POP THE TRUNK USING FOB. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL ON THE FLOOR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CLICKING AND I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS WATER LEAKAGE ISSUE. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE SOMEONE HOLDS THIS MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE? THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR OVER 8 YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE KILLED WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO ILLUMINATE BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION? *TR

ISSUE 1 BACK WHEN I HAD LIKE 30K SOMETHING BRAKE CABLES FREEZE. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND TOLD THEM BUT THEY HAD TO BILL ME $120 TO CHECK IT OUT AND ANOTHER $500 BUT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM ISSUE 2 FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FLOODING WHEN THE DRAIN PLUG CLOGGED UP AT PASSENGER SIDE ISSUE 3 ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AS WELL AS THE BATTERY ISSUE 4 VEHICLE STARTED IDLE UP AND DOWN ISSUE 5 CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND I GOT 5 CHECK CODES ANOTHER ISSUE WAS I WAS DRIVING PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT STARTING TO MOVE AGAIN PUT IT IN 1ST GEAR AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T TAKE SAME TIME IT TOOK LIKE 3-4 SECOND BEFORE I MOVED OUT. I THEN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING LIKE BRAKE PAD SHREDDING ABS SENSORS IDLE SPEED AND OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN... WHILE DRIVING IN FIRST GEAR ABOUT TO SWITCH TO SECOND... THE CAR RPM REDLINE.. EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS CAR MANUAL KNOWS THAT THIS CAR CHIRPS 2ND GEAR WITH OR WITHOUT TCS ON... IT WAS LIKE POWER SHIFTING WITHOUT USING THE GAS PEDAL.. THE CAR WAS SIDEWAYS.. BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK.. TRIED TO GET THE CAR STRAIGHT AGAIN BUT THE CAR WHIPPED AROUND THE OTHER WAY AND DID A 180... LONG STORY SHORT.... TOTALED!!! *TR

ALTHOUGH CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD, MILEAGE WAS ONLY 18000+ WHEN ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACING - $620. OUT OF WARRANTY SO NO HELP FROM FORD OR DEALER. OTHER OUT-OF-WARRANTY ISSUES INCLUDE BOTH INTERIOR DOOR PANELS COMING LOOSE - UPHOLSTERY SHOP HAD TO GLUE THEM BACK ON - $160., AND A CANISTER VENT VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED - $310. DEALER ALSO UNABLE TO CURE BOXCAR-LIKE RIDE. *TR

AT FIRST THE BACK UP LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON THEN GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND STAY OFF EVEN WHILE STILL IN REVERSE. THE TACH WOULD SHOW YOU DOING ABOUT 800 RPM'S NO MATTER THE SPEED AND WHEN I BACKED IT IN THE GARAGE AFTER RETURNING FROM FORD, THE TACH SHOWED 9000 RPM WHILE IN PARK AND KEY OFF. VEHICLE STUDDERS WHEN DRIVING LIKE ITS STARVING FOR FUEL, FORD TOLD ME ALL OF THIS IS RELATED TO THE SJB. THEY SAY IT'S CORRODED FROM COFFEE OR SOME FLUID GETTING ON IT. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY WONT CALL IT IN BECAUSE THE TEXT SAID IT WAS COFFEE BUT WOULD NOT SAY HOW THE COFFEE GOT UP BEHIND THE KICK PANEL (PASS SIDE) UNDER DASH AREA. FORD HAS TSB 08-26-7, BUT WONT REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE AND NO RECALLS ISSUED, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY OCCURS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. *TR
